frequently asked questions

Where are the lockers located?

We have lockers at four locations: South Branch in the South Barrington Park District; Willow Recreation Center/Hoffman Estates; Barrington Hills Village Hall; and the Barrington Train Station. For addresses and hours, see "delivery locations" above.

How do I get material out of a locker?

Enter your seven digit phone number (your phone number without the area code) into the keypad, then press the # ENT key. The locker with your materials will automatically open. Items are officially checked out to you when placed in the locker, so there's nothing more you have to do to check out the items. Items are held in the lockers for 6 days. If an item is not picked up, it is considered "returned" to the library when lockers are emptied. All sites with pick-up lockers also have return drops, but in addition, you can return items to any of ten return drops located throughout the Barrington Area Library District. For a complete list of our return drops, see "return drop boxes" above.

When will my library items be delivered?

Patrons are notified by email or telephone that items are being delivered for pick-up. The notification will provide specifics about date/time for pick-up. Materials are held in the lockers for 6 days.
